*Goan beneficiaries too want work halted* HERALD REPORTER Goan beneficiaries too want work halted HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, JULY 17 In an interesting development on the Rawanfond rehabilitation row, displaced Goans who were allotted plots at the Rawanfond rehabilitation site have asked the government to immediately halt the ongoing rehabilitation work in the paddy fields opposite the KRC station and also withdraw the plots allotted to non-Goans. In a representation signed by seven persons, they called for thorough and impartial investigations into the allotment of plots in the fields. They pointed out that the structures owned by them on the Navelim side of the junction have been completely demolished during the junction widening, and claimed that structures on the Margao side, belonging to 90 per cent non-Goans were partly demolished. “All these non-Goans, whose structures were partly demolished have restarted their regular business again, only a little behind at the junction itself”, they said. Saying that these non-Goans from Margao side of the junction have been paid handsome compensation and a free plot of 50 sq mts each, though some of them have officially lost just 11 sq mts, they pointed out that some of these non-Goans have lost just the steps of their houses, some have lost just a portion of the front shad, but all of them have got equal land like the Goans. “This is grave injustice for us Goans in our own land’, they said, while requesting for a re-survey of the area and cancellation of the allotment done to these non-Goans whose structures are partially demolished and who have restarted their business at the junction. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
